Verse 1:
im building a time machine
you laugh now but you’ll be jealous
when you hear the stories ill tell when i get back from yesterday
dinosaurs? yeah i met them. stock market? check out my new bike.
jesus? well lets just say im in a gospel.

Chorus:
yeah once you get away from here
the world becomes a fascinating place
you want believe what you might learn
when you’ve got a time machine

Verse 2:
when in rome do as the romans do
is actually great advice
that and if at all possible,
avoid falling on the bad side of either a viking or a hun.

i know how they did the pyramids
i listened to homer give a reading
i waterski’ed behind the ark
and followed alexander the great wherever he was leading

Chorus:
yeah once you get away from here
the world becomes a fascinating place
you want believe what you might learn
when you’ve got a time machine

Verse 3:

i know how old the world is
i know what stonehenge is about
i told amelia earheart
she should pick a different route (didnt listen.)

i rode my bike across pangaea
and asked out joan of arc
i tried to be an aztec warrior
but didn’t look the part

my man leo da vinci
got his best ideas from you know who
i managed to keep my mouth shut
when the french lost waterloo.
i rode range with tough guy cowboys
i think i liked that best
i could finally find a place to park
in LA’s the american west.

yes when i build a time machine
ill finally get my tour
of all the things ive wondered about
yup even herbert hoover.
